`file-attributes' returns a list of data, and you very often see code
like

(let ((atts (file-attributes file)))
  (when (> (elt atts 7) 4000)
    ...))

and you have no idea what that means.  So I think there should be 12
attribute accessor functions (well, defsubsts) that people can use
instead.  The names could be something like `file-attribute-size',
`file-attribute-access-time', etc.
